The Asian Dating Podcast

In this episode, I sit down with Owen to explore how unresolved trauma can quietly impact our dating lives, relationships, and even our ability to speak up for ourselves.We talk about how to recognize when you may be stuck in an emotional pattern, the three major categories of trauma, and why even highly successful people can struggle with assertiveness and relationships.Owen also shares how long-term singles can shift their mindset around dating, why optimizing your physical health through sleep, exercise, and self-care matters, and how painful relationship patterns form and can be resolved.Most importantly, we discuss what to look for in a partner beyond chemistry: someone who is emotionally open, willing to work on themselves, and committed to growing together.If you’ve ever wondered why you keep experiencing the same patterns in dating, this conversation may help you look at relationships from an entirely different perspective.0:00 Introduction to Owen 3:34 How do you know you have trauma symptoms?6:30 Anyone who has sought help with therapy coaching or done the work are more open to Peak Therapy7:20 If you are always saying the same thing in your life, you are stuck9:54 Successful people not assertive12:15 Three major categories of trauma15:01 How can a long time single have a better mindset with dating life?19:10 Do as much for your body as you can: sleep, working out, optimize your body20:39 https://gift.optimize-consciousness.com/ for healing processes for dating22:00 Someone who wears their heart on sleeve is best for Peak State Therapy23:56 Painful relationship patterns form and how to resolve28:30 Find someone who wants to better themselves29:52 Both want to continuously want to growOwen Smithyman works with self-aware people who have done thetherapy, somatic work, or plant medicine and still feelsomething quietly running in the background.

This conversation with matchmaker Maja Uckar is refreshingly real — no scripts, no rulebooks, just hard-won wisdom from someone who's genuinely in love with her work. Maja shares her philosophy on modern dating: move fast, keep it fun, and stop treating dates like job interviews. From knowing when to take things offline to supporting late-blooming men and divorced women rebuilding their confidence, this episode is packed with practical, permission-giving advice for anyone navigating the dating world today. Maja suggests you meet someone you meet online within within 2–3 days. Prolonged texting kills chemistry. Whether you're a man or a woman, if you want to meet someone, say so. The person who shows clear interest and suggests meeting almost always jumps to the front of the line. You have to be ready before you can be chosen. Whether it's a one-month reset for a burnt-out dater or a full six-month rebuild for a newly divorced woman, confidence comes first. You can't attract the right person when you're operating from a place of defeat.0:00 Introduction to Maja Uckar: East and West Coast Matchmaker3:30 When to take online dating offline?9:30 Hooking up on first date okay?12:40 There are no rules to dating, but to have fun16:30 What is something you love to talk about?19:20 How do you help your clients to stay positive?21:00 You need a reset, try it23:30 Didn’t find a client a partner, but they got so much out of the journey27:19 Inexperienced daters who bloom later in life need more dates & practice34:06 Mock dates for every client before a real date36:00 Women in 60s should do this40:50 Something as easy as clothes shopping can give you a new enthusiasm43:17 What are you doing on a date to make him or her comfortable?Maja Uckar is a professional matchmaker and certified dating and relationship coach with a background in premium, high-profile matchmaking.

Vivek's story isn't what you'd expect. On paper, he had it all...but underneath all that? He was quietly struggling, feeling lost, fearful, and disconnected from who he really was. Through years of therapy, coaching, and serious inner work, he discovered a version of himself that was warm, magnetic, and fully present — and now he helps others do the same. He eventually connected with Olivia Fox Cabane, author of The Charisma Myth, and went from editing her book to contributing to it.What You'll Take Away From This Episode:Charisma isn't a personality trait — it's a skill. Vivek breaks it down into three pillars: Presence ("I'm here with you"), Power ("I'm competent"), and Warmth ("I'm here for you"). Most of us are strong in one or two — and the inner work is figuring out which one is missing.The two-second pause will change your dates. Instead of responding the moment someone stops talking, wait two seconds. You'll be shocked how often they keep going — sharing something deeper, something real.Connection that usually takes five dates can happen in one.Stop trying to be impressive. Make them feel impressive. Vivek shares a story from The Charisma Myth about a woman who chose the man who made her feel like the most interesting person in the room — not the man who tried hardest to impress her. That's the shift.Ask better questions. Swap "How's work?" for "What's something you could talk about for hours that you don't get to talk about much?" The emotions your questions trigger get attached to you — so make them good ones.0:00 Introduction to Vivek Pandit4:00 Living in fear and then internal work with being charismatic5:30 Quarter midlife crisis because structure life has stopped6:46 Presence Power and Warmth = Charisma10:12 Meaning making machine: who are you?13:13 Best hack for singles: “Let Them Finish”14:20 You should wait 2 seconds before responding 18:10 Make the other person feel impressive in dating20:10 Men are always performing, can’t be themselves23:50 People are moving way to fast; slow down27:00 Ask these dating questions to associate positive thoughts with you34:20 Vivek’s topic he can talk about forever34:36 Wear something at a networking function as conversation starter37:08 How to be approachable: be warm…smile.

In this episode, I sit down with Wayfinder Life Coach Tricia Rose Stone to explore how women can shift their mindset around dating and relationships by changing the inner “lens” through which they see love. We talk about the pressure many women feel when dating, why connection is more of a creative and evolving process than a checklist, and how practicing simple, everyday interactions can build real confidence. Tricia shares practical tools—from easy conversation starters to reframing dating as something lighter and more empowering—while encouraging women to move out of a victim mindset and into one of self-trust and possibility.

In this episode, I sit down with astrologer and coach Elizabeth Weihmiller to explore how Eastern astrology can offer powerful, practical insights into dating, relationships, and self-awareness. We break down the differences between Eastern and Western astrology, how astrology is used in matchmaking, and why even skeptics can benefit from understanding their birth chart. Elizabeth shares how she uses just your birth date, time, and location to uncover patterns in personality, compatibility, and life direction—and how she delivers guidance in a grounded, actionable way. If you’ve ever been curious about astrology beyond horoscopes, this conversation shows how it can be a tool for clarity, connection, and making better relationship decisions.0:00 Introduction to Elizabeth Weihmiller3:30 Eastern vs. Western astrology4:34 Indian matchmaking uses Eastern astrology7:30 What kinds of questions do you ask an astrologist?9:56 Your opinion of horoscopes11:40 How are you different than a psychic reading?12:35 Skeptics are welcomed13:30 Date of birth, time of birth, and location is all she needs16:07 Dating help with astrology23:00 How do you deliver unpleasant news26:14 Do my elderly parent’s reading30:15 How do you learn to be an eastern astrologist?32:45 A reading runs about $29736:00 Bring on the skepticsElizabeth blends her experience as a coach and trainer in Corporate America with the power of the planets and astrology to provide customized, practical insights and coaching.

They believe they are the best Asian Matchmakers around. Xiaoli and May have known each other since 2016, first partnering up to set up Xiaoli’s date coaching client with one of May’s clients.

They share their stories about their clients and their personal lives, both marrying Caucasian men. Meet Xiaoli:As an Elite Asian matchmaker and celebrity matchmaker, I possess a profound understanding of psychology and cross-cultural dynamics that shape relationships. With dual certifications in matchmaking and relationship coaching, I have transformed the lives of countless singles, guiding them towards finding love and fulfilling partnerships.My journey as a matchmaker began with my own quest for love and happiness. Having experienced two failed marriages and numerous unsatisfactory dating experiences, I became determined to decipher the elusive “Happiness Code.” My understanding of this was a delicate balance between a thriving career and a gratifying relationship. Finding fulfillment in all areas of my life was the key to being happy so I explored this rigorously. Ultimately, I discovered the key to unlocking love and relationship fulfillment that has forever altered the course of my life.  *AMAZON BESTSELLER* Get my book, ‘A Roadmap For Single Asian Women’ here:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C9L4CT87?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_FKWJGPCVXW3XG8D98EWBCall May forhelp: (310) 867-0851Join The BestAsian Matchmaker’s Database Here: https://www.twoasianmatchmakers.com/profileEmail: [email protected]: www.twoasianmatchmakers.comFacebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/TwoAsianMatchmakersInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/matchmakermayAsian friendscan set each other up: https://www.facebook.com/groups/datethemasiansYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/twoasianmatchmakersTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@asianmatchmaker88LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mayhui/ ABOUT THIS PODCAST: THE ASIANDATING PODCASTWhat does Matchmaker May Do?You know how there are men out there that are high net worth, super successful, and accomplished in theirfields but they are too busy to date and value time more than money?  They have trouble finding women to have ameaningful connection so what we do is find out who they’re trying to attract, screen the women for them, and make introductions for them.

Matchmaker May sat down with Robbie Kramer of Inner Confidence based out of Los Angeles and he really talked about how men can highlight their lifestyles by having an effective and powerful Instagram profile. Robbie talks about tactics to engage women on Instagram. Instagram can move your dating life forward in a drastic way if used properly. Robbie talks about how you can easily follow each other on Instagram and if she likes you, then Instagram is a great vehicle to ask her out. Instagram strategy consists of making sure that you have a consistent habit of highlighting your social life. Show yourself as a cool person. It's kind of a status signal. I love at the end where he talks about how women can be more overt with their signals. How women should communicate with men when you slide into their DM's. It's all about giving him attention and signals to show that you are investing in the conversation and communication with him. *AMAZON BESTSELLER* Get my book, ‘A Roadmap For Single Asian Women’ here:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C9L4CT87?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_FKWJGPCVXW3XG8D98EWBCall May forhelp: (310) 867-0851Join The BestAsian Matchmaker’s Database Here: https://www.twoasianmatchmakers.com/profileEmail: [email protected]: www.twoasianmatchmakers.comFacebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/TwoAsianMatchmakersInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/matchmakermayAsian friendscan set each other up: https://www.facebook.com/groups/datethemasiansYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/twoasianmatchmakersTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@asianmatchmaker88LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mayhui/ ABOUT THIS PODCAST: THE ASIANDATING PODCASTWhat does Matchmaker May Do?You know how there are menout there that are high net worth, super successful, and accomplished in theirfields but they are too busy to date and value time more than money?  They have trouble finding women to have ameaningful connection so what we do is find out who they’re trying to attract,screen the women for them, and make introductions for them.
